TIE HrsToRy OF THE CorToN PLANT.

TIE HIsToRY OF THE EoTTON PLANT.
Before the birth of Christ the cultiya-
ton Of the plant AMI the use of cotton for
clothing was probably coudned to India.
IIcrodotus, who lived in the fifth century
before Christ, reports that the Indians had
a plant which bore, instead Of fruit, wool
like that of the sheep, but finer and better,
Of which they made clothes, and Arrian
uarrates that the Indians made their
clothes Of fine white kind of fax, which
grew on trees Other nations do not seem
to have cultivated the plant at that time,
or even to have used cotton, at all events
only exceptionally, as rare expensive,
stuff Thus, it is assumed, that the prec-
ious material called byssus, spoken Of amoug 8
the Jews, was cotton. The growth Of
cotton and its use, seem to have be-
como ditiused shortly after tho birth Of
Christ. Strabo (iu the FIRST century Of our
era) speaks Of cotton being cultiv.ted and
manufactured in SuSi"ua, on the Pcrsian
Gulf; and Ptiny mentions that the plant
was cultivated, nos only in India, but i'll
Upper Egypt, and says that the Egyptian
priests used the material there grown for
clothing In all probability tho Arabs
brought the cultivation of cotton into
| Europe. In the time Of hiahomct the use
Of cotton was general among them. Al

The TRUE SYSTEM OF FARMINo.-Try-


doubtless the cause of his error. He is
ambitious and energetic, and forms his
plans on large scale, too often, perhaps,
| without counting the cost. He buys u
large farm and wants to be called large
! farmer" without understanding or consid-
orirg the true elements that constitute
| real farmer. He fancies tic greatness Of
that profession, rs is too often the common
estimate, to be in proportion to the num-
| Der Of acres, not to say cultivated, out en-
braccd within the boundaries Of his do
main. The fact is now being spread
| abroad, that 4 large farm does not make q
mnn either rich, coutcutod or happy, but
on the contrary, the reverse Of all these,
unless well titled, when his labor is reward
ed by ample crops and fair success in the
various departments in which he is cngag-
ed. No farmer can realize the ful! benc-
fits Of his profession without adopting n
thorough system of culture. His success,
commensurate to his wishes, always depends
upon the manner in which he prepares nis
grounds, plants his seed, and rcars his
stock. Neither Of these departments,
which may be considered thc cardinal
ones cf his profession, will take care Of
themselves. The soil may be rich, but it
needs culture. His seed may be sown, but
it should be in due time, aud always on
soil well prepared and of a suitable quail
ty for the production Of the crop desired.
His stock must be constantly cared for
it derives its thrift from the soil, and sends
again to that soil the Sustcnaurc it re-
quiros but this is not done in a loose or
hap hazard way. The farmers care is re-
quired, and all his better Judgment must
DC exercised in Keeping up this system o!
reciprocal benefits that may he realized by
every Intelligent and industrious farmer.

The Wesleyan Methodists Make Little
Progress Toward Union.
LONDON. July 23-Unusual interest was
taken In the Wesleyan conference. where the
question of reunion of the Methodsts has been
under exhaustive discussion. Upwards of 1900
ministers were in attendance. and all were pres
ent during the debate of motion introduced by
hev NJ Watkinson affirming the conferences un-
aoated confidence in the principles of govern
ment dominating Wesleyan Methodism and
declaring that the time had not arrived for a
complete union of all of the branches of the
Methodist Church. An amendment offered by
Rev Mr. Jenkins proposed the appointments OF
committee to consider the best means of pro-
noting brotherly feeling among and tendi ng to
secure the cooperation of all sections of the
Methodist Church, and this was carried by
large majority. The tenor of the discussion
showed the existence of very little disposition on
the part of the Wesleyans to modify their sys-
tenn of church admins tion and the movement
for union of the sections remains in n state OF
vapor. The conference of the Methodist Free
Church exhibited stronger inclination toward
organized unity and ended in the appointment
of a committee charged with duties similar to
those Of the Wesleyan committee.

THE CASE OF MISS CAsS.

The Inquiry Arouses Indignation Against the
Police Administration.
LONDON. July 23.-The developme nts of the
investigation into the Cass case have excited
profound indignation against the police admin
stration. The evidence adduced by the inquiry
proves conclusively that policeman Endcott,
who arrested Miss Cass, misrook her identity.
and that, instead of admitting his error when be
discovered he was wrong, he followed the Gus
tomary course of police constables of swearing
that he was right and trying to get corrup. wit
nesses to confirm his testimony and
brand the girl courtesan. The in
vestigation as it proceeds is producing
a series OF disclosures of violence and brutality
exercised by the police upon dissolute women.
while other breaches OF the law concealed
condoned by the higher officials If the offender
happens to be q man or woman who pays trib-
ute. The investigation has resulted in giving
the agitation which caused it wide scope, and
the question is now raised favoring the adoption
OF means for the protection of modest women IN
the streets OF the metropolis at all hours of the
day. According to letters emanatne from sew
eral members of associations for the conserva-
lion OF womens rights. London is swarmlng
with woman hunters" making it impossible

without molestaton. The Rev. Hugh

arena of denunciation and declares that young
girl. or even a married woman, cannot walk
twenty PAGES in the London streets without sub
1ecting herself TO the risk of insult. The only
remedy for this outrageous state of affairs, he
asserts, is the reformation of the police admins
tration so that criminals be arrested and
convicted. vigorous enforcement of the laws
and an impartial administration of Justice he
thinks, would make the counter evidence OF per-
